I Finally Visited St. Maarten!
Рет қаралды 162,861
2 ай бұрынThe Caribbean island of Saint Martin/Sint Maarten is an iconic vacation destination and home to just over 70,000 people.
It's also a bucket list destination for aviation enthusiasts, made famous for the low landings over Maho Beach at the end of the runway at Princess Juliana International Airport.
After saving up for a while, an opportunity came up to go and I booked a vacation there for February last year.
So, join me, as I spend a week in paradise and see what this amazing island has to offer!

I hear you about our airline industry for us crew members. I felt thst way until I went Hawaii. Kona and Kauai are beautiful islands.😊 Maui is gorgeous as well.😊

Try to find an explanation and describe that mystery that drives us to do things that we simply have to do - its called "passion".

Glad you got to make this trip. I really enjoyed my stay there many years ago. We rented a car and hit every beach there during one week. The jet blast at that beach is no joke, saw a few people who were standing at the fence get blasted onto the road. I think that's why they put that mini fence in front of it now.

Let me get this straight: I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone who deserves that 100k more than you do. Since I first started my aviation photography journey you have been the main person I have looked up to, and after 3 years, I still do. Meeting you is an absolute honour and I have a tremendous amount of respect for you. Congrats on 100K Alex, I can’t wait to see what’s next 🫡

One of the best trip reviews I've seen from St. Maarten. You really did it justice, I went back in 2022 and it was one of the most amazing places I've ever visited. When the Air France A330 departs west it's hilariously loud and I got a kick out of hearing all the car alarms going off!

Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers Alex! Very well deserved. The trip to Sint Maarten would be the perfect avgeek holiday. I visited the island in 2013 on a Caribbean cruise and would love to return. We had a great tour guide that day, who took us to Maho Beach among many other places. I was one of the few people on the tour who knew about it as I had been watching the KLM 747s coming and going on KZfaq.
